Musical Sampling Atelier Series Sasaki Trumpet

Atelier Series Sasaki Trumpet

Legato Trumpet Library Performed by Session Musician and Educator, Mikio Sasaki. 

Recorded at Orb Studios in Austin, Texas – the goal was to create a responsive/snappy instrument full of energy, vibe and utility. One decision Musical Sampling made to help facilitate this goal was to record all of the material in a dry studio space. This way you have the option to really customize the sound before hitting it with your favorite reverb.

Part of the character of a trumpet performance is attributed to the style and quality of vibrato. Musical Sampling asked Miki to perform vibrato that could suit a variety of energetic contexts appropriately for each setup. They also recorded the legato in an “impulsive” fashion to capture transitions that are more contextually-relevant; suited for energetic lines with real movement. 

Wind instruments (certainly brass) tend to share changes in intonation depending on dynamics, range and difficulty of a passage. Musical Sampling provided two variations of each patch to give composers the option to include performances with their natural, internal tuning intact.  

Lastly, they also recorded a wonderfully-emotive flugelhorn with an entirely different legato performance style and vibrato; suited for emotional and cinematic contexts. A real beauty.

What Is The Altelier Series?

Oftentimes during the research and experimental phase of development, Musical Sampling creates instruments that don’t necessarily belong to a bigger, themed release. Instead of attempting to shoehorn them into a future release or trying to construct a comprehensive product around it, they decided to create the Atelier Series so that other composers can enjoy their explorations in sample development as well.
